If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 100 hour timeframe. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.

Overheard on Twitter
Over on Twitter, here were the top tweets about Litecoin:
- From LitecoinForever:
@MASTERBTCLTC @elonmusk @BillyM2k @SatoshiLite @LTCFoundation @JohnkimLTC @jonnylitecoin @DavidBurkett38 Dogecoin isn’t a good currency. Litecoin has been fine tuned & optimized for over 9 years. Dogecoin is a joke project that has an outdated code base. Dogecoin wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Litecoin merge mining. Litecoin is the money for the people, not Dogecoin.
$LTC ?? - From lite_hause:
It always feels like Elon is right around the corner from giving a Litecoin shout out due to its relationship to Doge and its payments use-case + high liquidity, but apparently, it seems like he’d prefer jamming a square peg into a round hole just for the memes. Such is life.
- From Pacifica2525:
@jonnylitecoin Litecoin doesn’t “help” secure Dogecoin’s blockchain, it basically “owns” Dogecoin’s blockchain, because until recently, no miners would ever mine just Doge. It was a losing proposition. Now, it may be more profitable, but it still is a byproduct of Litecoin mining.
